What Is the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency?
NCCIA is Pakistan’s federal cybercrime agency, set up under Section 51 of the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA), 2016, taking over the FIA’s former Cyber Crime Wing. It works under the Ministry of Interior and Narcotics Control, handling online fraud, harassment, blackmail and identity-theft cases nationwide — hence the countrywide recruitment. Unlike a private-sector role, these are federal BS-scale posts with pension eligibility on permanent positions and liability to transfer anywhere in the country.
Vacant Positions and Regional Quota
The 351 posts span seven designations, each with its own pay scale and entry test.
| Post | BPS | Total Posts | Age Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sub Inspector | BS-14 | 48 | 18–25 |
| Technical Assistant | BS-14 | 15 | 18–25 |
| Stenotypist | BS-14 | 08 | 18–25 |
| Upper Division Clerk (UDC) | BS-11 | 06 | 18–25 |
| Assistant Sub Inspector (ASI) | BS-09 | 36 | 18–25 |
| Constable | BS-05 | 174 | 18–25 |
| Constable Driver | BS-05 | 64 | 18–25 |
Posts also carry an open-merit and provincial quota, plus separate sub-shares for women, minority and disabled candidates in most regions. Combined regional totals (open merit plus all sub-shares):
| Post | Open Merit | Punjab | Sindh | KPK | Balochistan | Ex-FATA/AJK/GB |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sub Inspector | 4 | 23 | 9 | 6 | 3 | 3 |
| Technical Assistant | 1 | 7 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 1 |
| Stenotypist | 1 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
| UDC | 1 | 3 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| ASI | 3 | 18 | 7 | 4 | 2 | 2 |
| Constable | 14 | 87 | 33 | 20 | 10 | 10 |
| Constable Driver | 5 | 32 | 12 | 7 | 4 | 4 |
These totals come from the ad’s province-by-province table, which also lists exact women, minority and disabled sub-shares. Check the detailed regional quota table if a specific sub-quota affects you.
Eligibility Criteria for Each Post
Run through this before you pay any fee:
- Sub Inspector: 2nd Class/Grade “C” Bachelor’s or 4-year BS in CS, IT, Cyber Security, Software Engineering, Digital Forensics, Telecom/Electrical Engineering, Data Science or equivalent, HEC-recognized.
- Technical Assistant: Same degree, plus 3 years post-qualification experience.
- Stenotypist: Intermediate; shorthand 80 wpm, typing 40 wpm, computer literate.
- UDC: Intermediate, plus a 3-week NITB IT Basic Training Course within one year of joining.
- Assistant Sub Inspector: 2nd Class/Grade “C” Bachelor’s, any discipline, HEC-recognized.
- Constable: Matriculation, Second Class, recognized board.
- Constable Driver: Matriculation, Second Class, plus Motorcycle and LTV licence and driving experience.
“Second Class or Grade C” is the middle band on your degree, not first division. CGPA transcript? Get the HEC division-equivalence before applying — the portal asks you to declare it.
Age relaxation: a general 5-year relaxation applies under the Relaxation of Upper Age Limits Rules, 1993, but not to the lower age limit, physical standards or endurance test. Category-specific relaxations aren’t detailed here — confirm with NPFTAS if you think one applies to you.
Physical Standards and Endurance Test
This applies only to Sub Inspector, ASI, Constable and Constable Driver — not Technical Assistant, Stenotypist or UDC, which have no listed physical requirement.
| Requirement | Men | Women |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum height | 5 ft 6 in | 5 ft 4 in |
| Chest | 33 x 34½ inches | Not specified in the official notification |
| 1-mile run (endurance test) | Within 7 minutes | Within 10 minutes |
Only candidates who clear both move to the Computer Based Test (CBT). Non-uniformed posts still face a written test, a skill test where relevant, and an interview — but no TA/DA is paid at any stage, so budget your own travel.
What BS-05 to BS-14 Means for Your Salary
Pakistan’s federal government pays on the Basic Pay Scale (BPS) system, BS-1 to BS-22 — a higher number means higher starting basic pay and generally more allowances. These posts span BS-05 (Constable, Constable Driver) to BS-14 (Sub Inspector, Technical Assistant, Stenotypist), with ASI at BS-09 and UDC at BS-11. The ad prints no take-home salary figure, only the scale, so treat any rupee number elsewhere as an estimate. A permanent-post BPS package generally includes basic pay, allowances and pension eligibility, at rates the government sets separately.
Who Should (and Should Not) Apply
Apply if you meet the exact qualification for your post from an HEC-recognized institution, sit within 18–25 on the closing date, and — for uniformed posts — can already clear the 1-mile run and height standard now. Government employees can apply, but only through proper channel with their department’s endorsement. Hold off if your HEC equivalence isn’t settled, you’re relying on an unlisted relaxation category, or your NOC won’t be ready by interview: these applications usually fail after the fee is paid.
Step-by-Step: How to Apply Online
- Pick one post you’re qualified for. More than one repeats this whole process, with a fresh fee each time.
- Go to www.npftas.pk and open the NCCIA Jobs 2026 form.
- Fill in your details exactly as on your CNIC and academic records — mismatches cause problems later.
- Generate your fee challan to get your 22-digit PSID.
- Pay Rs. 2,000 via 1Link-1Bill (bank, ATM, internet banking, EasyPaisa, JazzCash or UPaisa). It’s non-refundable, so confirm the post first.
- Confirm submission is complete, then watch the portal, SMS and email for eligibility status, roll number slips and test-centre allocation.
Documents You Will Need
Nothing is posted or couriered now — hard copies aren’t needed until the interview. Keep these ready anyway:
- Original CNIC or passport (needed at every physical stage)
- Degree/certificate and transcript, to fill the form accurately
- CGPA-to-division equivalence letter, if applicable
- Constable Driver: your Motorcycle and LTV licence details
- Government employees: an NOC from your department, for the interview
- At interview: originals plus one set of attested copies of degree/certificates
Common Mistakes That Get Applications Rejected
- Paying but not confirming submission — an incomplete form doesn’t count.
- Sending anything by post or courier — only the online portal counts.
- Applying for the wrong post — the non-refundable fee is lost on an error.
- Missing the NOC as a government employee, risking rejection at interview.
- Assuming an unlisted age relaxation and applying outside 18–25.
- Not being physically test-ready — there’s no relaxation for SI, ASI, Constable or Driver.
- Mismatched details between the online form and CNIC/academic records.
What Happens After You Apply
| Stage | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Application window | Now through 7 September 2026 |
| Eligibility screening | Portal publishes eligible/ineligible status |
| Physical & Endurance Test | SI, ASI, Constable, Constable Driver only |
| Computer Based Test (CBT) | For candidates who clear the physical stage, or aren’t subject to it |
| Skill test | Where applicable, e.g. Stenotypist shorthand/typing |
| Interview & verification | Original documents, attested copies, NOC if applicable |
| Medical exam | By an authorized Federal Government civil surgeon, at final selection |
The ad gives no exact dates beyond the deadline, so treat this as the general order of a federal recruitment cycle, not a promised timetable. You’ll be notified at each stage via the portal, SMS and email, with a fresh roll number slip issued every time.
Where an NCCIA Job Can Take You
Constable and Constable Driver are entry points into NCCIA’s uniformed cadre; ASI and Sub Inspector sit higher, with investigative responsibilities tied to cybercrime cases. Technical Assistant, Stenotypist and UDC form the technical/clerical backbone — Technical Assistant fits best for a public-sector digital forensics or cyber security career, since it already asks for a relevant degree plus three years’ experience.

Editorial note: Ixjob.pk compiles and explains publicly advertised job notifications. The official NCCIA/NPFTAS advertisement and www.npftas.pk remain the final authority. Ixjob.pk charges no fee, collects no applications, and guarantees no selection.
Anti-scam warning: the only fee here is the official Rs. 2,000 processing fee via 1Link-1Bill. No agent can guarantee an NCCIA post — anyone asking extra to “secure” your selection is running a scam. Verify everything against www.npftas.pk.
